#62Why not support floating point number type?
I asked the language creator. Float, double, short types are going to be added within 1 month. 64 bit integers are not possible because Javascript doesn't have them.

#63Does it do garbage collecting in all the target languages? The question is mainly about C, cause I can imagine it can rely on native garbage collector when targeting Java, Perl, etc.
It only has manual memory management. No GC.
But if you don't target C, you can just skip using "delete".

#64Great, another programming language we can't google! Please rename it to Membranous language.

#66This is a really interesting project. However... It's licensed under GPLv3 -- in my experience, that's an instant turnoff for most .NET (C#/F#/VB.NET) developers. If you changed the license to something like Apache 2.0, I think you'd get much more interest; not only new users, but new contributors too.
Does it matter here from a user standpoint? The compiler is strictly licensed but the user's work - Ć code and generated code - shouldn't be tied to any predefined license, or am I missing something?

#67Nice idea, but please give it a name that makes the language easy to discuss and search for. There's no way I'm going to work on Monday and discussing: 'did you see that new language that I have no idea how it's pronounced that was on HN?'
"ci" or "cito". As in http://cito.sourceforge.net

Right. Who would ever want to be able to write libraries that can run on any platform?
I'm not saying there isn't a need, but I'm interested in knowing of another need. Hasn't this been done in C already? C pretty much runs anywhere, after all. What exactly does this bring to the table? Sorry that people thought I was being negative (as per all the downvotes - you people really aught to comment), I'm just curious as to why other languages don't fill this gap.

Right, from the documentation (albeit hidden in the Arrays section):
Since there is no garbage collection in C, you must free the dynamically allocated array with delete. delete translates to C as free and nothing in other (garbage-collecting) languages.

1. No, C doesn't run everywhere. I can't compile C to Java, C#, JS, AS, Perl and D. Or compile it to any other language (PHP, Objective-C, Pascal, ...) just by writing 500 lines of generator.
Look how huge project Emscripten is: 1 537 390 lines according to Ohloh. But JS generator for Ć is only 457 lines.
2. C# is easier than C. You can write Ć in Visual Studio C#, the best, easiest and fastest IDE in the world.
